The Homebuilder's Suite? (may be good for newlyweds :P ) Lots of stuff
on experimental amatuer built...

I like the idea but not the name, how about simply the "Experimental
Suite" or if you really want it to be wordy, "Experimental Aircraft
Suite" or "Experimental Aviation Suite" Much cooler name IMO. The
home builder's honeymoon suite pun does nothing for me.

news:8acvf.467066$084.261909@attbi_s22...
So we FINALLY finished the new "Piper Cub Suite" yesterday (some of that
artwork has been in our dining room for over three years!) at our aviation
theme suite hotel, and we're embarking on our last two aviation theme
suites, the "Apollo Suite" and the "Oshkosh Suite" -- both which have been
in the works for over two years.

However, since we created the "Cub Suite" by chopping one of our 2-story
townhouse suites in half (by walling off the stairs), we suddenly find
ourselves with an "extra" suite to name!

Thus, it's time to play "Name That Suite"! The winner earns a free
night in "their" suite, upon completion. Here are the rules:

1. The name must roll off the tongue, and be no longer than four words.
(I.E.: "The Charles Lindbergh Suite")
2. No aviation disasters, please. (No "Hindenburg Suite", please...)
3. Nothing potentially offensive or double-meaning (No "Bong Suite" or
"Hellcat Suite"...)
4. Combat-related names are iffy, unless they "sound pretty" to the
uninformed.

For example, our "Memphis Belle Suite" sounds "pretty" to folks who have
no idea who Bob Morgan was, and our "Mustang Suite" sounds kinda racy,
even to those who have NO idea what a P-51 is... We must be careful to
appeal to the NON-flying crowd, too, which eliminates a lot of great
names.

Ideally, the suite would honor a well-known era or aspect of aviation.
Look here to see which names are already in use:

Mary and I already rejected the "Experimental Suite" long ago, as being too,
er, suggestive, in a college town...

("Hey, honey, let's try this! Ooops, crap... Hey, I didn't *know* that
chandelier wouldn't support you!

Call my attorney!"

"Well, your honor, it *said* 'Experimental' right on the door!")

Jay, what part of "Dick Rutan Suite" didn't you understand? :-)

Well, Dick's a great pilot in his own right, but I don't think his
accomplishments are on the same level as Burt's. Just my opinion, of
course.


You missed it again Jay? Or are you just sidestepping it? :^)

Dick? Or Burt?

I wasn't questioning Dick vs. Burt, it was just that the OP said Dick
explicitly and then you asked a question that appeared as though you
hadn't seen the "Dick" part. :-)

Inspired by another thread - how about the Lindbergh Suite.
